Physical Description
Like their southern Damhnait cousins, the Khai-gheiri have characteristics found in wild deer. Their bodies are covered with varying shades of brown fur, and their feet and hand resemble hooves. The main difference between the two, however lies in the face; whereas the Damhnait mostly resemble fallow deer in the face, Khai-gheiri closely resemble reindeer in their faces. The other main difference between the two is that both genders of Khai-gheiri have antlers.
Muirne is a tall lady, and slender by Khai-gheiri standards. Her curves are more pronounced than most humans, but not of the point of being distracting. The doe was blessed with a golden brown tint to her eyes and a coat of dark brown fur that fades to white in her cheeks, chin and neck. Behind her ears grow a pair of antlers that add another foot and a half to her height, on which she keeps a few feathers for decoration.
Clothing for the medicine woman doesn't change much; a tan long sleeved dress reaches down just past her knees, while beaded strings of red, white and black hang down from the hemline to just above her ankles. Under her dress she wears dark tan trousers with white linen strips wrapped around her shins down to her ankles. Around her wrists are wide bracelets of plaited white rope intended for keeping her sleeves from rolling up, as well as serving a symbolic meaning. At her side is a small satchel with various medicinal herbs and plants, while over her shoulders she wears a short grey cloak that reaches down to her waist.
Personality
Muirne is more of a snappish, cynically rational doctor than a shaman in a traditional sense of the word. She hold very little patience for long, drawn out ritual and is utterly irritable when her patients bring up superstition. While the doe certainly believes that the gods created the world, she sees no reason to rely on them when mortal races have the intellect and ability to take care of their own problems, and adheres to no specific belief system.
Despite her curt temperament and dubious beliefs, Muirne is a gentle and caring lady, and is impartial to the morals of her patients so long as they keep it to themselves, but if one comes to her asking spiritual advice, her cynical, rational disposition is almost completely replaced with a sagacious, stern wisdom that doesn't suffer fools lightly.
Magic/Abilities
Herbal Alchemy As a medicine woman, Muirne has an extensive knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants, gathered from years of making herbal remedies and salves. She can make a remedy for every common and superficial ailment known, although she has to experiment a bit for diseases such as plague, typhoid fever and cholera. The shaman also makes hallucinogenic mixtures for certain rituals and trance states.
Divination Muirne was gifted with the magical ability of divination, specifically to see what is to come and what is unknown. In order to access this ability, she must go into a trance, and what she sees is projected in the flames of her fire pit. Her sight is limited to the very near future (up to two months), and she cannot tell exactly when an event is going to happen.
